Math, a scruffy mutt with a heart as big as the city, wandered the streets of Hanoi. Today was his birthday, but he felt no sense of celebration. As a stray, his life was a constant struggle for survival. He spent his days scavenging for food, seeking shelter from the elements, and avoiding the dangers of city life.
Math longed for a warm home, a loving family, and a soft bed to sleep in. He watched with envy as people walked their dogs on leashes, their pets bounding with joy at the sight of their owners. Math dreamed of having someone to call his own, someone who would love him unconditionally.
As the sun began to set, Math found a sheltered spot under a parked car. He curled up, his tail tucked between his legs, and tried to ignore the gnawing hunger in his stomach. He thought about all the birthdays he had spent alone, wandering the streets with no one to share his joy.
A tear rolled down Math’s cheek. He wished things could be different. He wished he had a family, a home, and a reason to feel loved. As he drifted off to sleep, Math held onto a glimmer of hope. Perhaps one day, his wish would come true.
